BRACKET.

Application filed June 9, 1911.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALoNzo A. WARNER, acitizen of the United States, and resident of New Britain, in the countyof Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Brackets, of which the following is aspecification.

The object of the invention is to produce a device of the characterdescribed having features of novelty and advantage and more particularlyto produce a novel connection with the bracket arm to the bracket base.

In the drawings: Figure l is a side elevation of a bracket made inaccordance With my invention, the base being shown in central verticalposition. Fig. 2 is a back view of bracket made in accordance with myinvention.

Referring to the drawings: The device comprises a base at having acentral boss I). The base has three apertures in alinement, one 0 beingin the boss and the others c0 on either side thereof in the marginalrim. The bracket arm cl may be of any form but is provided with tangseee to fit the apertures in the base. The ends of these tangs arepreferably riveted over to firmly secure the bracket arm to the base.

The essential feature of this invention resides in the arrangement ofthe points of at tachment of the arm to the base, the central point ofattachment being out of the plane of the end points of attachment, thus,producing a brace to support and counteract lateral strains on thebracket arm.
